What does the letter "ب" (bāʾ) signify in the word "بغضب" (bi-ghaḍab) in the Qur'anic verse: "And they incurred wrath from Allah"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The meaning of the noble verse "And they returned with wrath from Allah" is that the disbelievers returned, departed, and turned back with wrath from Allah. "Baa'" (باء) is an intransitive verb, but it has been made transitive in this verse by the preposition "bi" (باء), which denotes transitivity or attachment.
